In a recent episode of the ‘Listen’ podcast, Nigerian singer Skales made headlines by revealing his longstanding belief that fellow artist and former record label mate Wizkid has never liked him. Skales recounted feelings of repulsion he has perceived from the ‘Starboy’ over the years, particularly highlighting a notable fallout on social media.

The singer reminisced about a past incident during a Twitter question-and-answer session, where he jokingly remarked about Wizkid’s apparent disinterest in their friendship. This seemingly innocuous comment prompted a barrage of insults from Wizkid, targeting not only Skales but also his family. Skales noted that this reaction indicated a deeper animosity, stating, “I have always felt that Wizkid didn’t like me. I don’t know why but there were occasions where he showed his dislike for me.”

Despite his attempts to reconcile, Skales expressed a sense of resignation, suggesting that Wizkid’s disdain is evident and unyielding. He reflected on the public perception that often accompanies such disputes, acknowledging that any defense of his character would likely be dismissed as jealousy of Wizkid’s success.

This revelation adds another layer to the complex dynamics within the Nigerian music industry, where rivalries and personal conflicts often play out in the public eye. As Skales continues to navigate his career, this candid admission raises questions about the nature of relationships among artists and the impact of social media on personal interactions.

Veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie has described Chinua Achebe’s 1958 novel, Things Fall Apart, as the greatest African book ever written.

Speaking in a recent interview, Edochie said the novel’s enduring popularity stems from its authentic portrayal of African life and history. He noted that although several African writers have since explored similar themes, none has matched the strength and influence of Achebe’s work.

Edochie urged African writers and creatives to tell their own stories, describing this as their greatest advantage on the global stage. He also expressed concern that foreign cultural influences were overshadowing African talent and identity.

Reflecting on his own experience, the actor recalled being given Western names such as Elvis Presley and John Wayne before choosing the culturally significant name “Uwadiegwu.”
